sq inspect

Inspect a data source, or a particular table in a source,
listing table details such as column names and row counts, etc.

NOTE: If a schema is large, it may take some time for the command to complete.

If @HANDLE is not provided, the active data source is assumed. If @HANDLE.TABLE
is provided, table inspection is performed (as opposed to source inspection).

There are several modes of operation, controlled by flags. Each of the following
modes apply only to source inspection, not table inspection. When no mode flag
is supplied, the default is to show the source metadata and schema.

  --overview:  Displays the source's metadata, but not the schema.

  --dbprops:   Displays database properties for the sources' *underlying* database.

  --catalogs:  List the catalogs (databases) available via the source.

  --schemata:  List the schemas available in the source's active catalog.

Use --verbose with --text format to see more detail. The --json and --yaml
formats both show extensive detail.

Usage:
  sq inspect [@HANDLE|@HANDLE.TABLE|.TABLE]

Examples:
  # Inspect active data source.
  $ sq inspect

  # Inspect @pg1 data source.
  $ sq inspect @pg1

  # Inspect @pg1 data source, showing verbose output.
  $ sq inspect -v @pg1

  # Show output in JSON (useful for piping to jq).
  $ sq inspect --json @pg1

  # Show output in YAML.
  $ sq inspect --yaml @pg1

  # Show only the DB properties for @pg1.
  $ sq inspect --dbprops @pg1

  # Show only the source metadata (and not schema details).
  $ sq inspect --overview @pg1

  # List the schemas in @pg1.
  $ sq inspect --schemata @pg1

  # List the catalogs in @pg1.
  $ sq inspect --catalogs @pg1

  # Inspect table "actor" in @pg1 data source.
  $ sq inspect @pg1.actor

  # Inspect "actor" in active data source.
  $ sq inspect .actor

  # Inspect a non-default schema in source @my1.
  $ sq inspect @my1 --src.schema information_schema

  # Inspect piped data.
  $ cat data.xlsx | sq inspect
